Pain in the.... Belly

So I started a blog. I really wanted to document my pregnancy and the new baby's life not only for my self but for all those little moments for my family and friends from afar. It may not always be insightful or philosophical but it IS a memory...So here goes....

This baby has been a long awaited treasure and we could not be more excited to meet the little one. You may have noticed the lack of pronouns.. thats right folks we are TEAM GREEN. For those of you not hip to the pregnancy speak :) that means we are not finding out the sex before we meet this nugget. This has created many mixed reactions in our families as the grandparents really want to shop for little girl dresses or tiny baseball warm-ups but I really want to have that suprise in the delivery room. Yup I said I because my wonderful husband Dan would love to find out however totally supports me in the fact that I don't! The OB said she would let Dan announce the sex when the baby was born which I feel is a really special moment that we can share and the greatest surpise of our lives. Yes this does make some shopping infinitely more difficult and not as fun however I feel it will be totally worth it. Plus I know some grandparents that can do a lot of damage in a few days, heck a few hours.


So at 6 months pregnant I have had it fairly easy. I had a little morning sickness and some fatigue but overall have not had a lot to complain about. Then today at work it hit me- round ligament pain.... seriously I went to work vomiting for at least 6 weeks and this is what puts me down?!I called the OB and willed the little one to move and it so obliged which by far is the coolest thing ever by the way.  Luckily I have an OB appt tomorrow and they are not worried but they say it is possible that I actually sprained it. Do you know that this ligament is inside my abdomen??? Unless I had a marathon jumping jack session (I didn't) how in the world do you sprain this ligament? Crazy. So I was told to get off my feet for the rest of the afternoon and if it continues I may need a few days of rest- see my OB must have forgotten who I am. I don't rest well. So here I am starting a blog that I have wanted to do for awhile and getting yelled at everytime I try to help with dinner or dishes and one would think this is great but I feel very useless and I do not like it. On the plus side this little babe continues to flip in my belly reassuring me that although my belly hurts, the nugget is safe and cozy, right where it belongs.
